Daniel 11

1Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.

וַאֲנִי בִּשְׁנַת אַחַת לְדָרְיָוֶשׁ הַמָּדִי עָמְדִי לְמַחֲזִיק וּלְמָעֹוז לֹו׃ (2351)

2And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.

וְעַתָּה אֱמֶת אַגִּיד לָךְ הִנֵּה־עֹוד שְׁלֹשָׁה מְלָכִים עֹמְדִים לְפָרַס וְהָרְבִיעִי יַעֲשִׁיר עֹשֶׁר־גָּדֹול מִכֹּל וּכְחֶזְקָתֹו בְעָשְׁרֹו יָעִיר הַכֹּל אֵת מַלְכוּת יָוָן׃ (6468)

3And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

וְעָמַד מֶלֶךְ גִּבֹּור וּמָשַׁל מִמְשָׁל רַב וְעָשָׂה כִּרְצֹונֹו׃ (2162)

4And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

וּכְעָמְדֹו תִּשָּׁבֵר מַלְכוּתֹו וְתֵחָץ לְאַרְבַּע רוּחֹות הַשָּׁמָיִם וְלֹא לְאַחֲרִיתֹו וְלֹא כְמָשְׁלֹו אֲשֶׁר מָשָׁל כִּי תִנָּתֵשׁ מַלְכוּתֹו וְלַאֲחֵרִים מִלְּבַד־אֵלֶּה׃ (7457)

5And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.

וְיֶחֱזַק מֶלֶךְ־הַנֶּגֶב וּמִן־שָׂרָיו וְיֶחֱזַק עָלָיו וּמָשָׁל מִמְשָׁל רַב מֶמְשַׁלְתֹּו׃ (2944)

6And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.

וּלְקֵץ שָׁנִים יִתְחַבָּרוּ וּבַת מֶלֶךְ־הַנֶּגֶב תָּבֹוא אֶל־מֶלֶךְ הַצָּפֹון לַעֲשֹׂות מֵישָׁרִים וְלֹא־תַעְצֹר כֹּוחַ הַזְּרֹועַ וְלֹא יַעֲמֹד וּזְרֹעֹו וְתִנָּתֵן הִיא וּמְבִיאֶיהָ וְהַיֹּלְדָהּ וּמַחֲזִקָהּ בָּעִתִּים׃ (7290)

7But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:

וְעָמַד מִנֵּצֶר שָׁרָשֶׁיהָ כַּנֹּו וְיָבֹא אֶל־הַחַיִל וְיָבֹא בְּמָעֹוז מֶלֶךְ הַצָּפֹון וְעָשָׂה בָהֶם וְהֶחֱזִיק׃ (2523)

8And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.

וְגַם אֱ‍לֹהֵיהֶם עִם־נְסִכֵיהֶם עִם־כְּלֵי חֶמְדָּתָם כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב בַּשְּׁבִי יָבִא מִצְרָיִם וְהוּא שָׁנִים יַעֲמֹד מִמֶּלֶךְ הַצָּפֹון ׃ (2887)

9So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.

וּבָא בְּמַלְכוּת מֶלֶךְ הַנֶּגֶב וְשָׁב אֶל־אַדְמָתֹו׃ (1447)

10But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.

[וּבְנֹו כ] (וּבָנָיו ק) יִתְגָּרוּ וְאָסְפוּ הֲמֹון חֲיָלִים רַבִּים וּבָא בֹוא וְשָׁטַף וְעָבָר וְיָשֹׁב [וְיִתְגָּרוּ כ] (וְיִתְגָּרֶה ק) עַד־ [מָעֻזָּה כ] (מָעֻזֹּו׃ ק) (4298)

11And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.

וְיִתְמַרְמַר מֶלֶךְ הַנֶּגֶב וְיָצָא וְנִלְחַם עִמֹּו עִם־מֶלֶךְ הַצָּפֹון וְהֶעֱמִיד הָמֹון רָב וְנִתַּן הֶהָמֹון בְּיָדֹו׃ (2906)

12And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.

וְנִשָּׂא הֶהָמֹון [יָרוּם כ] (וְרָם ק) לְבָבֹו וְהִפִּיל רִבֹּאֹות וְלֹא יָעֹוז׃ (1995)

13For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.

וְשָׁב מֶלֶךְ הַצָּפֹון וְהֶעֱמִיד הָמֹון רַב מִן־הָרִאשֹׁון וּלְקֵץ הָעִתִּים שָׁנִים יָבֹוא בֹוא בְּחַיִל גָּדֹול וּבִרְכוּשׁ רָב׃ (3727)

14And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.

וּבָעִתִּים הָהֵם רַבִּים יַעַמְדוּ עַל־מֶלֶךְ הַנֶּגֶב וּבְנֵי ׀ פָּרִיצֵי עַמְּךָ יִנַּשְּׂאוּ לְהַעֲמִיד חָזֹון וְנִכְשָׁלוּ׃ (2807)

15So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.

וְיָבֹא מֶלֶךְ הַצָּפֹון וְיִשְׁפֹּךְ סֹולֲלָה וְלָכַד עִיר מִבְצָרֹות וּזְרֹעֹות הַנֶּגֶב לֹא יַעֲמֹדוּ וְעַם מִבְחָרָיו וְאֵין כֹּחַ לַעֲמֹד׃ (3496)

16But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.

וְיַעַשׂ הַבָּא אֵלָיו כִּרְצֹונֹו וְאֵין עֹומֵד לְפָנָיו וְיַעֲמֹד בְּאֶרֶץ־הַצְּבִי וְכָלָה בְיָדֹו׃ (1789)

17He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.

וְיָשֵׂם ׀ פָּנָיו לָבֹוא בְּתֹקֶף כָּל־מַלְכוּתֹו וִישָׁרִים עִמֹּו וְעָשָׂה וּבַת הַנָּשִׁים יִתֶּן־לֹו לְהַשְׁחִיתָהּ וְלֹא תַעֲמֹד וְלֹא־לֹו תִהְיֶה׃ (5849)

18After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.

[וְיָשֵׁב כ] (וְיָשֵׂם ׀ ק) פָּנָיו לְאִיִּים וְלָכַד רַבִּים וְהִשְׁבִּית קָצִין חֶרְפָּתֹו לֹו בִּלְתִּי חֶרְפָּתֹו יָשִׁיב לֹו׃ (4540)

19Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.

וְיָשֵׁב פָּנָיו לְמָעוּזֵּי אַרְצֹו וְנִכְשַׁל וְנָפַל וְלֹא יִמָּצֵא׃ (1674)

20Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

וְעָמַד עַל־כַּנֹּו מַעֲבִיר נֹוגֵשׂ הֶדֶר מַלְכוּת וּבְיָמִים אֲחָדִים יִשָּׁבֵר וְלֹא בְאַפַּיִם וְלֹא בְמִלְחָמָה׃ (2697)

21And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

וְעָמַד עַל־כַּנֹּו נִבְזֶה וְלֹא־נָתְנוּ עָלָיו הֹוד מַלְכוּת וּבָא בְשַׁלְוָה וְהֶחֱזִיק מַלְכוּת בַּחֲלַקְלַקֹּות׃ (3190)

22And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

וּזְרֹעֹות הַשֶּׁטֶף יִשָּׁטְפוּ מִלְּפָנָיו וְיִשָּׁבֵרוּ וְגַם נְגִיד בְּרִית׃ (2956)

23And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.

וּמִן־הִתְחַבְּרוּת אֵלָיו יַעֲשֶׂה מִרְמָה וְעָלָה וְעָצַם בִּמְעַט־גֹּוי׃ (2291)

24He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

בְּשַׁלְוָה וּבְמִשְׁמַנֵּי מְדִינָה יָבֹוא וְעָשָׂה אֲשֶׁר לֹא־עָשׂוּ אֲבֹתָיו וַאֲבֹות אֲבֹתָיו בִּזָּה וְשָׁלָל וּרְכוּשׁ לָהֶם יִבְזֹור וְעַל מִבְצָרִים יְחַשֵּׁב מַחְשְׁבֹתָיו וְעַד־עֵת׃ (6797)

25And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.

וְיָעֵר כֹּחֹו וּלְבָבֹו עַל־מֶלֶךְ הַנֶּגֶב בְּחַיִל גָּדֹול וּמֶלֶךְ הַנֶּגֶב יִתְגָּרֶה לַמִּלְחָמָה בְּחַיִל־גָּדֹול וְעָצוּם עַד־מְאֹד וְלֹא יַעֲמֹד כִּי־יַחְשְׁבוּ עָלָיו מַחֲשָׁבֹות׃ (3449)

26Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.

וְאֹכְלֵי פַת־בָּגֹו יִשְׁבְּרוּהוּ וְחֵילֹו יִשְׁטֹוף וְנָפְלוּ חֲלָלִים רַבִּים׃ (2094)

27And both of these kings’ hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

וּשְׁנֵיהֶם הַמְּלָכִים לְבָבָם לְמֵרָע וְעַל־שֻׁלְחָן אֶחָד כָּזָב יְדַבֵּרוּ וְלֹא תִצְלָח כִּי־עֹוד קֵץ לַמֹּועֵד׃ (2743)

28Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.

וְיָשֹׁב אַרְצֹו בִּרְכוּשׁ גָּדֹול וּלְבָבֹו עַל־בְּרִית קֹדֶשׁ וְעָשָׂה וְשָׁב לְאַרְצֹו׃ (3364)

29At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.

לַמֹּועֵד יָשׁוּב וּבָא בַנֶּגֶב וְלֹא־תִהְיֶה כָרִאשֹׁנָה וְכָאַחֲרֹנָה׃ (1857)

30For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.

וּבָאוּ בֹו צִיִּים כִּתִּים וְנִכְאָה וְשָׁב וְזָעַם עַל־בְּרִית־קֹודֶשׁ וְעָשָׂה וְשָׁב וְיָבֵן עַל־עֹזְבֵי בְּרִית קֹדֶשׁ׃ (4240)

31And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

וּזְרֹעִים מִמֶּנּוּ יַעֲמֹדוּ וְחִלְּלוּ הַמִּקְדָּשׁ הַמָּעֹוז וְהֵסִירוּ הַתָּמִיד וְנָתְנוּ הַשִּׁקּוּץ מְשֹׁומֵם׃ (3441)

32And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

וּמַרְשִׁיעֵי בְרִית יַחֲנִיף בַּחֲלַקֹּות וְעַם יֹדְעֵי אֱלֹהָיו יַחֲזִקוּ וְעָשׂוּ׃ (2727)

33And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.

וּמַשְׂכִּילֵי עָם יָבִינוּ לָרַבִּים וְנִכְשְׁלוּ בְּחֶרֶב וּבְלֶהָבָה בִּשְׁבִי וּבְבִזָּה יָמִים׃ (1996)

34Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.

וּבְהִכָּשְׁלָם יֵעָזְרוּ עֵזֶר מְעָט וְנִלְווּ עֲלֵיהֶם רַבִּים בַּחֲלַקְלַקֹּות׃ (2273)

35And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

וּמִן־הַמַּשְׂכִּילִים יִכָּשְׁלוּ לִצְרֹוף בָּהֶם וּלְבָרֵר וְלַלְבֵּן עַד־עֵת קֵץ כִּי־עֹוד לַמֹּועֵד׃ (2920)

36And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

וְעָשָׂה כִרְצֹונֹו הַמֶּלֶךְ וְיִתְרֹומֵם וְיִתְגַּדֵּל עַל־כָּל־אֵל וְעַל אֵל אֵלִים יְדַבֵּר נִפְלָאֹות וְהִצְלִיחַ עַד־כָּלָה זַעַם כִּי נֶחֱרָצָה נֶעֱשָׂתָה׃ (4788)

37Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

וְעַל־אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹתָיו לֹא יָבִין וְעַל־חֶמְדַּת נָשִׁים וְעַל־כָּל־אֱלֹוהַּ לֹא יָבִין כִּי עַל־כֹּל יִתְגַּדָּל׃ (2560)

38But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

וְלֶאֱלֹהַּ מָעֻזִּים עַל־כַּנֹּו יְכַבֵּד וְלֶאֱלֹוהַּ אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְדָעֻהוּ אֲבֹתָיו יְכַבֵּד בְּזָהָב וּבְכֶסֶף וּבְאֶבֶן יְקָרָה וּבַחֲמֻדֹות׃ (2637)

39Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

וְעָשָׂה לְמִבְצְרֵי מָעֻזִּים עִם־אֱלֹוהַּ נֵכָר אֲשֶׁר [הִכִּיר כ] (יַכִּיר ק) יַרְבֶּה כָבֹוד וְהִמְשִׁילָם בָּרַבִּים וַאֲדָמָה יְחַלֵּק בִּמְחִיר׃ (3836)

40And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

וּבְעֵת קֵץ יִתְנַגַּח עִמֹּו מֶלֶךְ הַנֶּגֶב וְיִשְׂתָּעֵר עָלָיו מֶלֶךְ הַצָּפֹון בְּרֶכֶב וּבְפָרָשִׁים וּבָאֳנִיֹּות רַבֹּות וּבָא בַאֲרָצֹות וְשָׁטַף וְעָבָר׃ (6154)

41He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

וּבָא בְּאֶרֶץ הַצְּבִי וְרַבֹּות יִכָּשֵׁלוּ וְאֵלֶּה יִמָּלְטוּ מִיָּדֹו אֱדֹום וּמֹואָב וְרֵאשִׁית בְּנֵי עַמֹּון׃ (2837)

42He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

וְיִשְׁלַח יָדֹו בַּאֲרָצֹות וְאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לֹא תִהְיֶה לִפְלֵיטָה׃ (2365)

43But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

וּמָשַׁל בְּמִכְמַנֵּי הַזָּהָב וְהַכֶּסֶף וּבְכֹל חֲמֻדֹות מִצְרָיִם וְלֻבִים וְכֻשִׁים בְּמִצְעָדָיו׃ (2310)

44But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.

וּשְׁמֻעֹות יְבַהֲלֻהוּ מִמִּזְרָח וּמִצָּפֹון וְיָצָא בְּחֵמָא גְדֹלָה לְהַשְׁמִיד וּלְהַחֲרִים רַבִּים׃ (2587)

45And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

וְיִטַּע אָהֳלֶי אַפַּדְנֹו בֵּין יַמִּים לְהַר־צְבִי־קֹדֶשׁ וּבָא עַד־קִצֹּו וְאֵין עֹוזֵר לֹו׃ (1850)
